It's not a massively used application and i wanted to let users install as needed but it seemed i needed to give them a tutorial just to install it and all the other microsoft bumph too. I found DWF Vewer 2011 a pain in the rear becuase it needed additional components all over the place. I thought I'd share and possibly save someone else some headaches.Īny idea how your experience may help in deploying DWF Vewer 2011 via standard group policy methods?

This is VC++ 2008 SP1 with some patches applied. I fired up Orca and figured out that the MSI was looking for the application !Ī quick goole pointed me to a page that descibed the various updates to VC++ 2008 and their GUIDs. So I would go to and download and install. The installer would scream over and over that this was not installed and tell me to go to Microsoft and download it.

The pain was coming from Visual C++ 2008 SP1. We're all here becuase we like automated deployments, so I figured I would share my findings as one of the prereqs gave me an incredible headache! I had setteled on Autodesk Design Review 2010, and just as I was about to unleash it, I noticed that 2011 was out. I'm working on deploying a DWF viewer to our Citrix Environment to support the newer DWF formats.
